(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Below Stairs
by

I hate to put a damper on this book, as the information is very acceptable and the book is for the most part easily read. But, as I am reading, I detect a very strong undercurrent of someone who was basically disgruntled with her job. Ms. Powell makes every duty that she had, to be extrodinairly difficult It does not give (right or wrong) the warm feeling that Downton Abbey and/or Upstairs, Downstairs conveys.

The Other Side of the Dale

This is the first book in the series. I cannot say enough about this author. I was hooked before I left the the first paragraph. Absolutely a cross between James Herriott and Patrick Taylor. The writing is wonderful. I'm ready to pack my bags and leave for Yorkshire!

Queen & I
by

I am reading this book for the second time. I loaned my orginal copy out and it wasn't returned (this one I am keeping). I have to say The Queen and I has GOT to be one of the funniest books I've (re) read in years. The Royal family is depicted in a bazaar, but strangly believable fashion. What fun, to see the Royal family squirm! As always, the Queen Mum shows what "class" is all about. I think anyone who has an interest in the Royal family would enjoy this book. Delightful! vicki galloway

In true Alexander Mccall Smith's works, this 1st in series is just great. I am now involved in three of his series. All the characters are well defined, and easily believeable. Hats off to Alexander Mccall Smith!

I have just started this book (about 50 pages into it), and it has me hooked. When the book opens, the scene is set with a soldier writing his experiences from the battle field. i was afraid the book would revolve solely around the War Between the States battles. Ms Brooks has eased the book into the discovery of a make- shift hospital..The transition was effortless. I have several other of the author's books, and can't wait to read them.
